PLAYA VISTA — Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, had a flight to catch to continue scouting players for the NBA draft June 21. Doc Rivers, the Clippers’ coach, had a tee time scheduled. A few players came and went at the team’s practice facility.

The finality of the offseason arrived with a resounding thud.

Instead of going to the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, the Clippers went their separate ways Thursday. There was work for some, rest and recovery for others and ongoing medical treatment for those rehabilitating injuries that derailed the Clippers’ season.

What’s next for a team that finished 42-40, 10th in the Western Conference?

Above all, the 2018-19 Clippers will not look like the 2017-18 Clippers. Some players might depart via free agency and others might arrive because of it and because of the draft. The Clippers have salary cap space and, potentially, two lottery picks.

Doc Rivers has one season remaining on his contract and he’s uncertain about his future with a team that’s in the midst of an ongoing “reshaping,” as Frank termed it. Frank bristled when a reporter used the word “reboot” when describing the roster overhaul.

“Reboot is starting over,” Frank said. “We’re not waving the flag. We’re not going into the tank.”

The Celtics’ rebuilding project was what drove Rivers from Boston and to the Clippers in 2013.

“Honestly, it’s a place I enjoy being at,” Rivers said of coaching the Clippers. “That enjoyment goes up and down all the time. (But) I like the changes we’ve made. I like where we’re headed. I don’t think people understand how hard it is even when you have all your talent on the floor to make it work.

“But I accepted a long time ago that when you coach you work. You don’t get a lot of rest. You work until it’s over, until that season’s over. Then you start rebuilding for the next year. That’s just what you do, but I love doing it. My staff likes doing it, as well.”

Perhaps the biggest question facing the Clippers’ front office is whether Jordan, the last member of Lob City after Chris Paul was traded last June and Blake Griffin was dealt in January, will choose to leave. Jordan can opt out of the final season and $24 million of his contract and become a free agent.

Jordan wouldn’t reveal his plans.

“Whenever that time comes, we’ll address it, and figure out what’s the best option for me and my family and my career,” he said of possibly opting out and signing elsewhere. “I want to be where I’m wanted and I want to continue my career where I have a chance to contend and win again.

“That’s really what I’m looking at.”

Frank and Rivers each acknowledged a desire to retain the services of Jordan, who has spent all 10 of his NBA seasons with the Clippers and continued his growth and maturity in 2017-18, emerging as a team leader in the wake of the departures of Paul and Griffin.

“We’ll continue to have a dialogue with D.J. and his agent,” Frank said when asked how confident he was in keeping Jordan. “There is a contract for him here for next season. We’ll continue to have conversations. D.J. is one of the elite rim protectors and rebounders, and has been here his entire career.

“So, we’ll deal with that as we progress through the offseason.”

Free agency doesn’t begin until July 1.

For now, the Clippers’ priority is the draft and the possibility of two lottery picks. The Clippers have their own pick and the one they received from the Detroit Pistons in the trade for Griffin, which also netted them Bradley, Harris and Marjanovic. The Pistons’ pick is protected if it falls in the top four, though.

“There’s really good odds we’ll have two lottery picks, barring Detroit getting the No. 1 or a top-three pick,” Frank said. “We’ve spent a lot of time on talent evaluation and intel gathering to make sure, again, that the guys we draft fit with what we’re talking about.

“We want to build something sustainable. We want to be really good for a really long time.”
